We are actively fighting on behalf of those who’ve become ill due to exposure to the commonly-used weed killer, and we’re ready to get you the justice and compensation you’re owed.

Monsanto, the maker of Roundup, was recently found liable in a lawsuit filed in California by a man who claimed that he had developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a direct result of his exposure to the company’s glyphosate-containing herbicide. Monsanto, which was bought by the German multinational conglomerate Bayer in 2018, was ordered to pay $289 million in damages to the groundskeeper that made the claim. The groundskeeper said that he had only used the product around 30 times during his career.

The lawsuit further claimed that the company had been aware of the multiple risk factors associated with their product for years but still failed to inform the public of said risk. As a result of this, the company is currently facing thousands of cases alleging that their Roundup products have resulted in cancer and other serious illnesses.

As one of the leading agricultural states in the nation, farming is an essential aspect of life in Ohio. In fact, 1 in 8 jobs in the state is related to the farming, agricultural, and the food production business, making up $50 billion in total economic value each year. The importance of farming throughout Ohio is undeniable, which is why many Ohioans are watching the legal drama unfold regarding a herbicide widely used around the state.

The Risks of Roundup

Monsanto has consistently marketed Roundup as being a safe and effective product to use. The main ingredient of Roundup is glyphosate, one of the most used agricultural chemicals in history. Americans have applied 1.8 million tons of glyphosate since it hit the market in 1974.

The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) issued a report in March 2015 on glyphosate that said the chemical was a “ probable human carcinogen.” The report also stated there was a “statistically significant association between non-Hodgkin lymphoma and exposure to glyphosate.”

This report created a great deal of controversy throughout the United States, but especially in agricultural states like Ohio, where Roundup is used on many crops produced in the state. Ohio farmers used more than 9 million pounds of glyphosate on their crops in 2016, making the state 11th overall in its use of the Roundup across the U.S.

Ohio farmers have increased their glyphosate use by more than 2,100% since 1992. It’s understandable why those involved in farming and agriculture are concerned about their exposure to glyphosate

Who is affected by Roundup?

Roundup has been commonly used for decades by individuals involved in both the agricultural and floral industries. These individuals placed their trust in Monsanto’s product, but this trust fell short as many have fallen victim to its life-threatening side effects.

This dangerous glyphosate-containing herbicide has been commonly used by:

Farmworkers

Garden center employees

Groundskeepers

Those who tend personal or community gardens

Nursery employees

Landscapers

It’s important to note that this is not an exhaustive list. Those living and working close to locations that frequently use the product may also be susceptible to the adverse effects of the herbicide.

In most cases, active exposure to Roundup occurs in an aerosol form. Victims often inhale the product when working or in near proximity to the use of the product as it is being applied to crops or other plants. However, exposure to Roundup is not limited to airborne contamination, as many victims have also come been exposed to the herbicide through food, water, or simply general proximity to the weed killer.

Side Effects and Injuries Associated With Roundup

Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, is known to cause several illnesses and has been directly linked with the gradual development of various forms of cancers in individuals that had come into contact or been close to the dangerous chemical.

Leukemia

While it is true that the aforementioned medical conditions can be the result of genetic or environmental factors, studies, including those listed above, have shown that glyphosate may also be associated with the development of:

Testimonials

They called me and my aging father with updates every few weeks. We were part of a class action – they told us upfront that this can take several years to settle. My father and I both appreciated the personal service we received at the Driscoll Firm. Our settlement was more than we ever hoped for, and my father can live out the rest of his days in comfort – thank you Driscoll Firm!

My husband and I were skeptical because my mother had already been promised the world by another law firm. She had been severely injured by a prescription she had been taking for 6 years. I’m not gonna lie, the process is LONG – but the Driscoll firm makes good on their claims – everything played out pretty close to what they said, and my mother will never have to worry about paying for medical care again.

- Mary W.

The case was handled well and I always felt like I was in good hands. The firm kept me updated as to the status of the case as it went along. I was very content with the outcome of my particular case. Would highly recommend them to handle a legal issue.
